So as a workaround this would be for the moment ok, but the provided solution is not practical within the real live!
- User Group
- You have to maintain this user group and with entering and leaving of employees there is a big chance of forgetting someone.
- To open or close a period with a user group for only one module is quite a lot of work
1. First you need to open the whole period
2. You need to enter the user group à this needs to be done once per period, and 12 times per legal entity …
3. You have to block all other 14 modules l once per period and 12 times per legal entity
4. Once the budget is finished you have to reverse all those settings.
5. In the time when the budgeting is ongoing, all the user of this user group can post transactions in a future year
So over all we think this isn’t a smart and stable solution, ok for a work around but not usable for a long time usage of this module.
Microsoft has added some time ago this new module budget, but it seems they didn't finish the integration.

This might be fixed in 10.0.32
You can setup a recurring batch job to post all journals (using late selection) using the "Post Journals" menu. Filter on workflow status to post journals which have been approved and/or apply journalname as filters. This will also validate posting of course.
In my opinion the validate posting should be executed before activation of workflow as part of working instruction.
